I am a big fan of Duveneck too and here in De Young of SF and Stanford Cantor Museum it is actually possible to get up close and personal with some of this paintings, which I am grateful. As painting wet-in-wet into a base color, I think it is a great practice. Retaining some brushwork and leave soft edges at other places, not by blending but by the lightness of touch when putting the paint down. It is VERY HARD and I am struggling with it everyday in the atelier. Envy the fact that you are in LA! I really want to take classes at the LA Figurative Academy but I live in the SF bay area... Anyway, I think all your studies and experimentation are paying off! You works are simply brilliant and also improving every time you post a new painting! I am feeling so inspired every time I receive you new blog post in my mailbox...Arena Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585731948191412898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993243168234160587.post-87634609129229740422015-03-18T18:16:44.185-05:002015-03-18T18:16:44.185-05:00Absolutely beautiful!!Absolutely beautiful!!hmuxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132343095188658107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993243168234160587.post-18513373068480210492015-03-18T09:35:38.558-05:002015-03-18T09:35:38.558-05:00Hi Jean-Catching up with you blog.

Your self-portraits remind me a lot of Catherine Kehoe&#39;s--even the red glasses! Really nice work. And I wonder is Veronese Green like a thalo green?Stephanie Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01509283083557327502noreply@blogger.com
